I don't really care. It was awesome. Sure he's going to miss 80% of them...but

Would you believe he makes it 5.5 times out of 10?

He makes 30-40 foot shoots 40% of the time. It's a good shot for him and Curry and Trae Young. Not a great shot for

Not with PG playing full D on him. This shot he had separation at least. Plus

Dame is 5-5 in the series from beyond 30 feet. It wasn’t a bad shot for him

He also had little to lose. They were up 3-1 in the series and tied in that game
